URBANASPIRINES - Brian Auger Trinity with Julie Driscoll ‘STREETNOISE’



Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger And The Trinity: Streetnoise 1969

Julie Tippetts (born Julie Driscoll, 8 June 1947) is an English singer and actress, known for her 1960s versions of Bob Dylan and Rick Danko's "This Wheel's on Fire", and Donovan's "Season of the Witch", both with Brian Auger and The Trinity.
